So because these two individuals had just, moments before, been beating people and property, as long as they are suddenly non-aggressive they should simply be spoken to? That's very unreasonable to expect a police officer to respond in that way. You respond in a matter to gain control of the situation, and when people are belligerent as these two were, the actions the officers took was very far from police brutality.

If you're going to be a belligerent asshole beating on people and property in the street, don't expect to be treated kindly by Police or anyone else for that matter. Where I live, if someone came up to my car, started beating me or a passenger in my vehicle in such a violent manner, I'd have the right to shoot them. Just a little perspective on "appropriate" response.

YES! If you surrender, they should put you in cuffs, put you in the back of the car, and be done with you until the situation is resolved. There was NO NEED for her to get her face smashed in.

And don't go on about how she "deserved it". If a cop is justified in beating you because you "deserve it" then a cop could beat you because he doesn't like the clothes you're wearing. As long as he thought you "deserved it" then there's no issue, right?

As the situation is presented, it's deception with intent. The definition of lying.

The definition of lying is knowingly saying something that is untrue. That plainly did not happen in the given scenario, since nothing untrue was said.

Lying and deceiving someone aren't the same thing.

You can't lie to your opponent in Magic, but you can certainly deceive them in a number of ways, including this particular way.

To give classic example from a judge blog post, if I cast a Vampire Nighthawk and you ask me what it does, I can reply "It's a 2/3 flyer" and that would be fine. I haven't said anything untrue. It's your responsibility in Magic to know what the cards do and ask a judge if you're unsure (let's say the card was foreign or something). I can't say it has an ability it doesn't have though, since that would be lying.

(Also, all of this is about Competitive REL and higher. There is no derived information at Regular.)

In short, the Communication Policy in the MTR governs what information players must provide their opponents with. A player can withhold some information from his or her opponent, but not from a judge. Judges expect (and can require) players to answer their questions. If you answer a question/or make a statement about free or derived information, it must be correct. If a player is asked about free information, he or she must answer completely and truthfully. If asked about derived information, the player is only required to be truthful to the opponent, but does not have to answer completely.

Here's the problem you're running into - This post wasn't asking if it would be a rules violation, just if it would be lying. According to the definition of lying that most people go by in their everyday lives, a lie by omission is still a lie. However, MTG rules are the opposite.

Sorry for a political question, but I've seen a lot of debate about whether voting 3rd party is a good idea or not. Some people say it's throwing away your vote, while others say supporting a mainstream candidate that you don't actually like is hypocritical. What are your thoughts on this?

Taiwan is part of the visa waiver program and medical treatment is covered under the 'tourism' section. So she could actually have come to the US specifically to give birth, and that's not illegal.

Yeah, I probably would make more money selling the materials on, and in Eve thats the smart thing to do. But knowing that I spent the time to gather all the materials needed and then when I eventually see the finished product, I will just be glad that I went through with the thing. Only thing that stops me is the ISK for the smaller amounts of materials and the time needed to go into say Caldari space to get more Pyroxeres

Okay, but there still wasn't much to ME2. The only reason it was a long game was because they padded the shit out of it with mineral mining and 80 hours of conversation. Content-wise I found it lacking.
